Solve notes

Start with CHIMPANZEES, the 11-letter path. Longer paths usually have fewer valid turns and remove the most uncertainty from the grid.
Use PUZZLE as a cleanup path after the larger shapes are fixed. Short words become easier once their neighboring tiles are already claimed.
After each reveal, scan unused edge and corner letters first because they have fewer possible neighbors.
